Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 177: Peace of Mind

If it weren't for Jing Zhan having been to Stone City, he would have gone back to the town of District 8 to see his grandfather.

Perhaps, Meng Qinghu and Shi Yandao will really be fooled, thinking that something is wrong with Shicheng.

But they just learned the news of Shicheng, although they were a lot down, and the young people followed Xiao Muchen at the beginning, but Shicheng was not defenseless at all.

It originally had very strong strength, Xiao Muchen took people away, but Old Commander Xiao didn't leave. A large number of elderly people did not leave, and a group of middle-aged and older people also volunteered to stay to defend Stone City, and they also did not leave.

The base said that it was leaving, but it did not give up the entire Stone City, nor did it give up the old people left behind in the Stone City.

Xiao Muchen and Xiao Lao customized a detailed plan, went to the south for ten years, and succeeded, and came to pick up the old man left behind in the base to go over together. failed, and when he came back ten years later, Xiao Lao still gave Xiao Muchen and the young man who left an intact stone city.

As long as it is not a natural disaster, a man-made disaster will not be difficult to overwhelm Stone City.

Otherwise, nine years have passed, why did the Liu family of Dafeng City, who had been eyeing Shicheng, dare not make any moves against Shicheng at all.

At most, he broke away from the original covenant of the base and managed Dafeng City by himself.

Meng Qinghu didn't want to talk to them much, so he turned around and left.

How about Shicheng, it's not the turn of these people to chirp crookedly.

At the beginning, when the base made this decision, it notified the Liu family in Dafeng City, and the Liu family was afraid that they would have to rely on the base for the rest of their lives to survive in the south, so it was better to come to Dafeng City at ease.

Looking at the figures of Meng Qinghu and Shi Yandao, the man in the lead smiled coldly: "Little Liu, you go and see what their situation is." ”

He didn't believe it, he wanted to survive in Dafeng City, and he could survive if he didn't accept employment.

Of course, if you are an ordinary person, you can't resist the attacks of those mutated birds and beasts if you accept employment, but it is the difference between early death and late death.

But in Dafeng City, in the eyes of these lackeys of the Liu family, it is better to try desperately than for you to starve to death. Maybe you can defend Dafeng City against foreign enemies again, and you can get food to feed the whole family.

As for how one person can feed several people with half a pound of food a day, this is not within their control.

Meng Qinghu and Shi Yandao entered the alley, found Jing Zhan and Sang Yu, and the four of them took Xiao Tianyou all the way out of Shicheng.

They didn't leave Stone City and didn't go far, but found a random leeward place to start a bonfire and start cooking.

As soon as Xiao Tianyou was put down by Jing Zhan, he immediately ran around the grass happily.

He dragged the grass and leaves, ran with a grasshopper for a while, and finally got tired, sat on the ground with his butt crooked, and laughed at Jing Zhan.

Although everyone has never brought a child, they have to admit that Xiao Tianyou is a very worry-free child.

Otherwise, with their age and experience in raising children, if they meet a child who is weak and sick, and is super difficult to serve, Meng Qinghu can't guarantee that he will find someone to throw him halfway.

Xiao Liu, who followed Meng Qinghu and a few people, watched them light a fire outside the city and cook from a distance before turning his head back.

There were five of them, three young men in their early twenties, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, and a child who could just walk. I was busy cooking, and I could smell the aroma of rice and meat from afar. ”

The man in the lead nodded: "Okay, I guess I have some surplus food in my hand, and I don't panic." ”

Xiao Liu hurriedly told what he inquired about in the grain store: "Their grain was exchanged for Brother Xiaohei's side, six catties and three taels, and a catty was given to a kid in the city." Fourth brother, you said that we should go and see it at night, they must have something on them, otherwise they would not be so confident. I went to Liu Xiaohei to inquire, and they exchanged grain with Xiaohei for a piece of copper. ”

"It turns out that there are things in your hands, don't underestimate these people floating outside, you can't survive without some real skills."

The leading man thought for a moment and continued: "Don't move them at the time, we are forcing us to move now." More than five catties of rice, what is enough? When they finish eating, they will see what they will take to Xiao Hei's side to change, but they still have to leave. ”

"What if they leave?"

"If you want to go, bring me the little girl and the child, and see if they can leave."

"It's still the fourth brother's brain, I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on it."

Xiao Liu was a sycophant at Xiao Si, and turned his head to find someone to arrange to stare at Meng Qinghu.

Outside the city, Meng Qinghu and several people finished eating, sat together and began to discuss.

They were being targeted by Xiaoliu just now, in fact, they all knew it, but they just pretended not to be aware of it.

"When I went, I looked out over the ruined walls, and it was probably their battlefield outside, and there was that burnt smell everywhere. It should be the dead who are piled up and burned to finish. ”

Shi Yan waited for Meng Qinghu to stop and then said: "The whole city looks very calm, if there is anything, it should be night, I will go over and take a look at night." ”

"I'll go, I've got wings, be hidden."

Jing Zhan put Xiao Tianyou, who had just finished eating, and gently put it on the luggage on the side: "You guys are resting here, maybe those people can still come to us for trouble." ”

"Trouble us? Oh, welcome. ”

Listening to the words of a few brothers, I said word by word, Sang Yu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and yawned: "Jing Zhan, shall I go with you at night?" ”

She was just curious about how many of those spars were, whether they were discarded and not picked up, or whether they were picked up and piled up in a corner for ashes.

It would be nice if she was picked up, and then she would just go and put it into the space.

If they are discarded outside the city and not picked up, it will be a bit troublesome, and they will need to pick it up themselves.

"Okay."

Jing Zhan patted her head and pulled the blanket beside Xiao Tianyou: "Then you sleep for a while, and I'll call you after dark." ”

The shed was built improvised by mulberry elm, with layers of vines entwined, barely able to block the cool breeze at night.

She went into the shed and lay down side by side with Xiao Tianyou, and soon fell asleep.

Jing Zhan and the three of them immediately lowered their voices and discussed.

They could have left nothing and gone straight to Stone City.

However, Meng Qinghu felt that if something happened to Dafeng City, something would happen to Shicheng sooner or later.

Why don't you stay and see what the hell is going on.

"That's it, at night, you take Sang Yu to take a look outside the city, and I'll go into the city to have a look. Shi Yan said, you look at Xiao Tianyou, if we don't come back before dawn, you can take him to Shicheng and leave us alone. ”

Shi Yandao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What's the use of me and Xiao Tianyou going to Stone City, no one knows." Why don't I go into the city at night, Huzi, you look at Xiao Tianyou, if we don't come back in a few nights, it's almost the same if you take Xiao Tianyou to Shicheng. ”

Meng Qinghu was stunned, he forgot that Shi Yandao was not from Shicheng, and Shi Yandao's performance in the past few days was always a little different from before. As for the difference, he couldn't tell.

This person seems to be becoming more and more like their family, no matter what they do or speak, their teachers are more positive than before.

Did he figure it out? Decided to live with them at the base?

That's why he unknowingly let everyone accept him?

"It's okay, you go directly to District 8 to find grandpa, you don't have a special ability, it's not safe to go to the city. At the very least, we have the ability, no matter what happens, at least we can find a way to escape. You and Xiao Tianyou can't do it. ”

Shi Yandao glanced at Meng Qinghu speechlessly, and said, "Actually, I have special abilities, but it's just chicken ribs, so I haven't said it." ”

"You have an ability, why don't I know?"

Jing Zhan looked at Shi Yan in astonishment, he had been with him for the longest time, how could he never notice that he had a special ability.

Shi Yandao's face was flushed: "My ability is too chicken to be useless, so I haven't said it." ”

Depend on.

What is the ability of chicken ribs?

What do you mean?

Facing Jing Zhan's irritable eyes, Shi Yandao hurriedly stood up, waved his hands, and saw that on the earth where twilight was about to rise, suddenly a fog filled the ground, and the entire empty field was wrapped in a fog.

"This is your ability? Fog? ”

Jing Zhan stared incredulously at the fog in front of him, and he couldn't see the trees more than a dozen steps away, let alone Dafeng City dozens of meters away.

"Well, I can control myself to create fog."

Shi Yandao saw that Jing Zhan opened his mouth to ask, and hurriedly continued: "It's just to control the fog, not wind, rain, thunder, hail and snow." ”

"Oh."

The most disappointed thing was not Jing Zhan, but Sang Yu, who had just climbed out of the tent: "If only it could snow, I haven't seen what snow looks like." ”

"No, really can't, I tried."

Speaking of trying, Shi Yandao's face turned red, he thought he had a very powerful ability, able to call the wind and rain, who knew that he tried many times before he found out, it's just fog, only fog, only fog!

"It's not a chicken ability."

Meng Qinghu couldn't help but say: "It's not me who comforts you, you think, let's go to Dafeng City at night, if you make a big fog, it won't be much more convenient for us to enter and exit." No matter how many cameras it has, it's basically useless. ”

Shi Yan said: "It seems to be oh, even if I can't cover it all, at least the picture will definitely be very blurry." ”

"That night when you entered the city, I watched Xiao Tianyou from outside the city. You'd better go together, don't make a fog and get Jing Zhan lost, that's funny. ”

Forehead......

Shi Yandao was a little speechless, what Meng Qinghu said was indeed the truth.

"Shi Yan said, I remember the first time I saved you, it was in the grove, and the grove was full of fog at that time, so you made it?"

Jing Zhan, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth quietly, and Shi Yandao inexplicably felt a strong killing intent.

He looked at Jing Zhan with some confusion: "At that time, my ability had just awakened, and the fog was not very big, and I could barely cover the forest to protect myself, so I ......"

"So."

Jing Zhan jumped suddenly, jumped onto Shi Yandao's body, and slammed his fist: "You made me wander around the forest for half an hour before going out, that was the only time I didn't get the first place, do you know." ”

remembered that he was lost in the fog that day, and wandered around the forest for a long time, Jing Zhan was angry.

"Oops, I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I."
